A few places to begin, from the aircraft’s story to the people who fly it.

Aircraft background

Meet the aircraft

Miltech’s MH60 package, developed with Blackbird Simulations, includes Sierra, Romeo and Tango variants. Sierra emphasizes utility and rescue work; Romeo carries maritime mission equipment; Tango represents the Coast Guard configuration. The developer explicitly limits the simulated MH-60T to its external model and cabin: it shares cockpit and avionics with the S/R models. Select the simulator variant for the applicable documentation.

Meet Sikorsky MH-60 Seahawk / Jayhawk

Miltech and Blackbird Simulations' MH60 package includes the MH-60S Sierra, MH-60R Romeo and MH-60T Tango. Sierra serves utility and rescue roles, Romeo carries maritime mission equipment and Tango represents the Coast Guard configuration.

The simulated MH-60T has its own exterior and cabin but shares the S/R cockpit and avionics, as documented by the developer.

HOW IT CAME TO BE

History & design

Two successors with different missions

The MH-60S entered service in 2002 and the MH-60R reached initial operational capability in 2006. The Navy assigns the R primarily to anti-submarine, surface and electromagnetic warfare, while the S covers combat support, rescue and mine-countermeasure work among its tasks.

MH-60 Seahawk family; R and S roles distinguished

The S combines Black Hawk ancestry and naval equipment

The Navy describes the MH-60S as based on the UH-60L with modifications for maritime deployment. It replaced CH-46D and HH-60H aircraft and shares a common glass-cockpit approach with the MH-60R.

UNDER THE SKIN

Systems & details

Common cockpit does not mean common mission fit

The S’s logistics, recovery and other mission equipment differs from the R’s submarine-hunting fit. The dimensions and weights shown here are explicitly for the S. They should not be substituted for the selected R variant simply because both carry the Seahawk name.
